New paper! We usually think of sediment getting finer as we move away from the shore. But, when biogenic and oceanographic factors come into play in the mesophotic zone, the patterns could be quite different. 🧪⚒️🌊 link.springer.com/article/10.1...

Schematic model of the facies present across the Maltese shelf and the main governing parameters on sediment distribution

I'm really happy with how this paper came out. It's a very holistic view of how sedimentary facies are actually distributed, with seafloor photography, acoustic imaging, sampling, quantitative thin section analysis, and multivariant statistics.

Composite mosaics of seafloor imaging of the Maltase shelf  showing different characters of the seafloor. A Biogenic sand with echinoid remains; B Interface between biogenic sand and seagrass; C Sandy bedforms; D Clumps of fleshy algae with rhodoliths and calcareous sand; E Rhodolith accumulations. All seafloor mosaics are north-oriented
